What's the difference between my camera's different metering modes and how do I know which to use?

Digital Photography FAQ
Most cameras will have some subset of the following metering modes: spot, center weighted average (sometimes just called "average", and multi-segment (sometimes called "evaluative"). Spot metering is the easiest to understand: The camera meters only a small area in the center of the frame. This mode is useful if there is a particular area of the frame that you must expose properly, even if it comes at the expense of overexposing or underexposing the rest of the image.

Can I control my Digicam from my computer?

uk.sci.astronomy FAQ
If the digicam can be firmly mounted to a telescope then remote control software (available for newer Nikon, Olympus, Canon and some other cameras) allows virtually all functions of the camera to be operated remotely using a computer. Older cameras may be restricted to viewing the image and taking an exposure. If full remote control is available the great advantage is that operating the often tiny manual controls is avoided (very frustrating on a cold night!).

If I have a camera that let's me pick different aspect ratios, (4:3 or 3:2), which should I use?

Digital Photography FAQ
Digital SLRs are typically 3:2, while compact cameras are typically 4:3. You will find some disagreement about which is the "best" aspect ratio. Keep in mind that traditional televisions are 4:3, while a common print size is 6" by 4", which is 3:2. If you expect to be editing your photos later in software, then I would suggest shooting in the native format of your sensor, but keeping your intended use in mind.
